European championship zagreb
From the first day, the car immediately proved to be fast and easy to drive with our basic set up, on a technical track with little grip. As a result we lowered the rating of the diffs and eased the clutch.

In the following days we perfected the set up of the model by modifying the toe, and also the camber based on tire wear.

Already from the controlled practice on Wednesday and Thursday, we proved to be competitive and worthy of the first places, we were ready and confident of doing some good qualifying.
Unfortunately we didn't find the perfect setting to go fast and do the 7 minutes, so we didn't finish qualifying in the way we would have liked... 7th and excluded from the SuperPole.

We start in the semifinal with the number 3, I am immediately touched and I lose positions, but the car was truly a track and allowed me to calmly return to the safety zone and keep it until the end.
We leave for the A main in 5th position and after an abnormal flame out after 5 minutes of the race, the comeback begins until we reach third place!

My Serpent was really perfect, very fast and easy to drive; Furthermore, during the whole week of the race we NEVER had a mechanical problem, a really super reliable model from all points of view!

Till next time at the track.
